"Discover the Rich History and Beauty of Franche-Comté" Step back in time to June 6, 1674, as Louis XIV captures the town of Dole in Franche-Comté. This historic event is beautifully depicted in a detailed painting by John Paul, showcasing the military camp during this significant moment. You can admire this masterpiece at the Versailles Museum. Franche-Comté, located in eastern France, holds a special place in history. The region is featured prominently in an atlas from 1876 that illustrates one hundred and five maps from various sources including war depots, bridges, footwear production centers, and naval routes. These maps provide valuable insights into the strategic importance of Franche-Comté throughout history. The stunning landscapes of Franche-Comté are captured through breathtaking artwork such as "A Funeral in Ornans, " painted on canvas between 1849 and 1850. This piece portrays not only the natural beauty but also reflects upon life's transient nature. Georges Cuvier, a renowned figure from Franche-Comté's past, is immortalized through portraiture. A portrait depicting him can be found within Le Doubs department (25), serving as a reminder of his contributions to science and his connection to this remarkable region. Witness another captivating scene with "The Fall of Gour de Conche" by Myon; an oil painting created in 1864 that depicts a powerful waterfall cascading down rocky cliffs—a testament to nature's grandeur within Franche-Comté. Explore beyond artistry with G. Fraipont's poster titled "La France Régionale, " which showcases Burgundy alongside our beloved Franche-Comté—two regions intertwined by their rich cultural heritage.
